Ratings and reviews

The app is good, but oh my what have you done with the interface design, it's horrible! It looks like some Gen Z interface designer looked at the MS-DOS command prompt from an old computer and went "yes that's what we need!" Plain black & white with a barely legible font that looks like a combination of Courier New and the till receipt from a 1990's cash register. Put it back how it was please otherwise I'm leaving for a competitor.

I was happy enough with the app previously but unfortunately the new updated style is a step in the wrong direction. Previously the simple theme matched the simplicity of use. Now even though everything is in the same place, it looks more clumsy. Sorry, your design team has had a nightmare here. other than, there are the occasional bugs but generally nothing major. This app isn't for people who want all the trading tools at their fingertips, but for beginners it's pretty much the best.

This app has been great until now when the Buy and Sell buttons fail to load, so I have docked it a few stars I just get a gradient scrolling sideways across the buttons, and they just don't work. Tried restarting the app. No change. Rebooted the phone. No change. Turns out that this happens when their servers lose connection to the servers on which trading actually takes place. Would be nice if it showed a message instead of a meaningless gradient animation.
